About Anthony
I currently serve as the Representative for Utah House District 27, the area covering parts of Magna, Kearns, West Valley City, West Jordan, and Copperton. During the 2025 General Legislative Session, I served on the General Government Appropriations Subcommittee, the House Government Operations Committee, and the House Judiciary Committee
​
During the session, I sponsored and passed several pieces of legislation related to health and human services, particularly those focused on rehabilitation, making life more affordable through workers’ compensation, and government transparency for funds and elections.
​
I am running for re-election because I believe that better government is about listening to the people, and I value serving my community very highly. Being a collaborative voice and building relationships with my colleagues across the ideological spectrum to better serve you, the people of Utah, has always been a top priority.
Like many in our district, I was raised on values of resilience, humility, and service to others in my community. My father was an immigrant from Mazatlán, Mexico who built our family home in Moorpark, California through sweat equity in its construction as part of a non-profit housing program. I learned from him the value of a strong work ethic and helping others.
​
When starting my own family, I worked several odd jobs, including pest control sales, financial
planning, tax preparation, insurance, and investment services - all while taking college courses at night. After much hard work, I earned my associate degree and later my bachelor's degree in business management. I went on to earn my law degree from the J. Reuben Clark Law School at Brigham Young University.​ While in law school, I served as president of the Student Bar Association, class president, managing editor of a public law journal, and lead editor of an education law journal.
​
I am currently the Chief Legal Officer and General Counsel for a company based in Utah that supports the needs of intellectually disabled adults. Prior to that, I served as the senior policy advisor for a Salt Lake County Councilmember. I also served as a Deputy County Attorney in the civil division for Utah County, where I assisted the Board of County Commissioners in drafting and amending county ordinances, negotiating sensible contracts among various cities, governmental entities, and businesses, and advocating for the needs of the people.
​
I am a lifelong public servant committed to protecting the unalienable rights of life, liberty, property, and the pursuit of happiness. I have always had a goal to serve those around me, and I will continue to use my skills to help strengthen the communities of the West Side.

My wife, Kira, and I live in Kearns, where we are raising our six children.
